    The food was very good, but slightly overpriced for what it was. Disappointing was the music as was expecting a live jazz band . There was a pianist but at times music was too quiet, lacked the atmosphere we had anticipated. A good meal but not the best on comparison with other venues for the same price level .

    Can’t say enough about a very pleasant dining experience. Staff were wonderful, pleasant and very informative. Dinner was fantastic! From the cocktails, to the duck pate, to the Château Riel, everything was excellent. I would recommend this place to anybody that’s going to be in the area.
